Abstract

A component-based medical workstation is under development. This workstation should provide to physicians, nurses and others access to all patient data including administrative data, summaries of studies, lab reports, signals and moving images. The main characteristics of this system are. 1. Integration of all patient information through one interface. The system comprises general medical information modules and dedicated cardiology and cardiac surgery modules. 2. Component-based. The framework of the system contains different patient selection modules in which individual components can be plugged in. Every component presents medical data of one patient (e.g.: a report or a sequence of images). The user can customize the workstation to every required circumstance
